Question

Answer:

Sclerenchyma cells have thick, lignified secondary walls, lack cell contents at maturity, and occur throughout all plant tissues. 2) These features make sclerenchyma tissues hard, rigid, and somewhat brittle.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\color{teal} Answer :-$

Some important functions of sclerenchyma are as follows :-

• Sclerenchyma is tough and rigid; hence, it provides mechanical strength to a plant.

• It gives flexibility and elasticity to the various parts of a plant.

Structure : Sclerenchyma consists of long and narrow dead cells.The cells of this tissue are thick-walled due to the deposition of lignin. The walls are so thick that there are no intercellular spaces.

Location : Sclerenchyma is present in stems, around the vascular bundles, in the veins of leaves and in the hard covers of seeds and nuts.The husk of a coconut is also made up of this tissue.
